Article Synopsis
- This study examined how postpartum preeclampsia affects maternal and neonatal outcomes using data from over 1.3 million pregnancies in Quebec from 2006 to 2022.
- Postpartum preeclampsia was less common than antepartum preeclampsia but was linked to higher risks of preterm birth, placental abruption, and severe maternal complications.
- The research suggests that women who experience postpartum preeclampsia should have their blood pressure monitored for up to six weeks after delivery to identify any adverse effects.
Background: Risk factors for influenza complications in women are poorly understood. We examined the association between pregnancy outcomes and risk of influenza hospitalization up to three decades later.
Methods: We analyzed a cohort of 1,421,531 pregnant women who delivered in Quebec, Canada between 1989 and 2021.
Importance: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with morbidity in persons of reproductive age, but the effect on maternal and offspring outcomes is understudied.
Objective: To determine the association of HS with pregnancy outcomes and maternal and child morbidity in the long term.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based longitudinal cohort study with up to 16 years of follow-up took place between 2006 and 2022 in Quebec, Canada.
The simulation of nano-scratching on metallic substrates using smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has been attempted by researchers in recent years. From a review of the existing SPH simulations of nano-scratching processes, it was found that mainly two different material constitutive models (i.e.

Methods: We conducted a matched cohort study of 630 patients with toxic shock syndrome and 5009 healthy controls between 2006 and 2021 in Quebec, Canada. Outcomes included hospitalization for renal, cardiovascular, hepatic, and other morbidity during 15 years of follow-up.
The rapid detection of the spore form of has remained a challenge for clinicians. To address this, we have developed a novel, precise, microwave-enhanced approach for near-spontaneous release of DNA from spores via a bespoke microwave lysis platform. spores were microwave-irradiated for 5 s in a pulsed microwave electric field at 2.

- Maternal hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is linked to long-term health issues in children, potentially increasing their risk of hospitalization for various medical conditions.
- In a study involving over 1.1 million children in Quebec, those exposed to HG were found to have higher hospitalization rates compared to those unexposed, with a 21% increased risk overall.
- The study highlighted that HG particularly raises the risk for neurologic, developmental, digestive, and allergic disorders in children, indicating that it poses greater risks than preeclampsia.
Purpose: We assessed the risk of congenital anomalies in children who have a sibling with cancer.
Methods: We performed a matched cohort study of children born between 2006 and 2022 in Quebec. The exposure was having a sibling with cancer.
Article Synopsis
- * Over 420,000 neonates from Quebec were analyzed, revealing that first trimester Covid-19 infections did not significantly increase the risk of birth defects (RR 1.07).
- * However, there was an increased risk of congenital microcephaly in late pandemic births compared to prepandemic births (RR 1.44), suggesting potential heightened awareness or detection of this anomaly during that time.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess disparities in COVID-19 mortality linked to neighborhood vulnerability, highlighting areas for public health interventions.
- Vulnerable neighborhoods accounted for over 60% of COVID-19 deaths, with biological susceptibility and indoor exposure being significant risks.
- The findings suggest that public health strategies should specifically target the most impacted domains of vulnerability to effectively reduce mortality rates.
Background: Second-trimester abortion may result in a live birth, but the extent to which this outcome occurs is unknown.
Objective: This study aimed to examine rates of live birth after pregnancy termination in the second trimester and identify associated risk factors.
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 13,777 second-trimester abortions occurring in hospital settings between April 1, 1989 and March 31, 2021 in Quebec, Canada.
Objective: The series of interventions that comprise labor induction shape patient experiences; however, patient perceptions are not always considered when structuring the process of care. Through qualitative interviews, we elucidated women's expectations and experiences regarding labor induction.
Methods: Labor induction patients were recruited from a United States tertiary care hospital's postpartum mother-baby unit and invited to participate in semi-structured qualitative interviews.
Lockdowns and cycling injuries: temporal analysis of rates in Quebec during the first year of the pandemic.
Health Promot Chronic Dis Prev Can
June 2023
Introduction: Cycling increased in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact on cycling injuries is not known. We examined the effect of lockdowns on cycling injury hospitalizations.
Methods: We identified hospitalizations for cycling injuries in Quebec, Canada, between April 2006 and March 2021.
Background Hyperemesis gravidarum is associated with preeclampsia, but it is unclear whether hyperemesis gravidarum is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We assessed the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease in women who experienced hyperemesis gravidarum with or without preeclampsia. Methods and Results We analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 1 413 166 pregnant women in Quebec between 1989 and 2021.

Methods: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of 1,195,327 patients aged 0-19 years between 2006 and 2021, including the first two waves of the pandemic (February 25-August 22, 2020 and August 23, 2020-March 31, 2021). Exposures included prepandemic morbidity, birth outcomes, and family history of maternal disorders.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examined whether child maltreatment hospitalizations were misclassified as unintentional injuries during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on children aged 0-4 in Quebec, Canada, from April 2006 to March 2021.
- - Results showed a decrease in maltreatment hospitalizations from 16.3 to 13.2 per 100,000 during the first lockdown, while specific unintentional injuries, like falls involving another person, increased significantly.
- - The findings suggest that cases of child maltreatment may have been overlooked or misclassified during the pandemic, indicating a need for better assessment of children admitted for unintentional injuries to ensure the detection of possible maltreatment.
Shifting age of child eating disorder hospitalizations during the Covid-19 pandemic.

August 2023
Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on hospitalizations for eating disorders among children aged 10-19 in Quebec, revealing a significant increase during the pandemic waves compared to pre-pandemic rates.
- - Hospitalization rates rose from 5.8 per 10,000 before the pandemic to 6.5 during the first wave and 12.8 during the second wave, affecting both girls and boys, with specific spikes in admissions for younger and older age groups.
- - The findings suggest that both advantaged and disadvantaged youth experienced increased rates of eating disorder hospitalizations, with a notable early rise among girls aged 10-14 during the first wave and a subsequent rise in girls aged 15-19 during
Background: It is important to investigate remote- learning options for medical education. We evaluated retention of research-related knowledge after exposure to pre-recorded audio-based didactics (AUDIO) versus video conference-based didactics (ZOOM).
Methods: Obstetrics and Gynecology residents over the 2020-2021 academic year were randomized to didactics delivered in AUDIO versus ZOOM formats.
Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) is an increasingly recognized complication of Covid-19. We assessed risk factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients with MIS-A compared with other inflammatory conditions.
Methods: We analyzed a cohort of patients ≥21 years hospitalized with MIS-A in Quebec, Canada between February 2020 and March 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term mortality risk among children with inborn errors of metabolism compared to those without these disorders, analyzing data from Quebec between 2006 and 2019.
- Findings revealed that children with inborn errors of metabolism had significantly higher mortality rates (69.1 deaths per 10,000 person-years) than unaffected children (3.2 deaths).
- Specific metabolic disorders were linked to increased mortality risk, particularly in the first year of life and from causes such as liver/digestive issues, respiratory problems, and infections, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve survival.
